Cell organelles

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Prokaryote   A group of cells whose cells lack a membrane-bound nucleus, or any other membrane-bound organelle. In most cases, unicellular.  
🗑
Eukaryote   A group of organisms whose cells have membrane enclosed nuclei and other organelles. Usually multicellular.  
🗑
Unicellular   Consisting of a single cell. Pertaining to protozoans, certain algae and spores, etc.  
🗑
Multicellular   Of an organism or part. Having or consisting of many cells, or more than one.  
🗑
Cell Theory   1)The theory that cells form the fundamental structural and functional units of all living organisms, proposed in 1838 by Matthias Schleider and Theodor Schwann. 2) All cells come from living cells.  
🗑
Cell Wall   A rigid layer of polysaccharides (carbohydrates made of sugars) outside the cell membrane in plants, fungi, and bacteria. In algae and higher plants, it consists of mainly cellulose.  
🗑
Cell Membrane   The semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell, like the "skin" of a cell.  
🗑
Nucleus   A part of the cell containing DNA and RNA, responsible for growth and reproduction, Like the "headquarters" of a cell.  
🗑
Chromatin   The material of which the chromasomes of organisms (eukaryotes)other than bacteria are composed. Made of DNA, RNA, and protein. Genetic material in nucleus, loose strands, before called into action.  
🗑
Chromatid   One of 2 identical chromasomal strands into which a chromasome splits preparatory to cell division.  
🗑
Lysosome   The organelle responsible for disintegrating a cell after death.  
🗑
Vacuole   Basically storage bins for cells. Are longer in plant cells. Store nutrients and sometimes waste to avoid contamination.  
🗑
Chloroplast   Only in plants/some protists. Convert solar energy into sugar.  
🗑
Golgi Body   Organelle made out of things that look like flattened sacks. Takes secretary and synthetic products from ER and delivers finished products to organelles where needed. "maze of tubes, transports stuff"  
🗑
Cytoplasm   The part of the cell between the cell membrane and nucleus, has organelles, cytosol, cytoskeleton, and particles of all sorts. Like a gel/jelly/  
🗑
Mitochondrion   Makes energy, found in large number in cells. Respiration and energy production occur. Double membrane.  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum   A network of tubes/ tubular membranes in the cytoplasm with either a smooth or rough surface. Rough is studded with ribosomes, involved with transport of materials.  
🗑
Ribosomes   Tiny mitten shaped organelles in clumps or alone in cytoplasm. Makes protein, a part of the rough ER.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
